A solution for resuming the file downloads every time you connect is to download the firefox dotpup and use flashgot with any of the download managers on the flashgot site. That way you can resume your download the next time you connect (and being disconnected won't affect the download).craftybytes wrote:WhoDo - as a puppyite on 56k dialup, I would have to set up my system to do a download of - v2.15CE "Viz" - or even the - v2.15CE "standard" - iso's to be able to do it over several hours UNINTERRUPTED..
However, with the present state of my telephone line ( debatable ) and my ISP link ( max 4 hour sessions ) - I don't think that this is going to be successful without a lot of hassles - SO - I ask will either or both these "iso's" be available on CD for us who are on dialup to purchase ..?
Please..PLEASE..
When CE is done I'd be happy to burn and mail you a copy if there's noone else offering. It doesn't make sense to do it with a beta though as there's a lot that has to be worked out still and new releases come out so fast.
Also, I agree with the earlier post that VLC is a great lightweight multimedia player that should be considered. It does streaming, supports many codecs and has plugins for webpage video streams in FF. I use it in windows, linux and OSX as my primary media player and even stopped using winamp v2.x/xxms in favour of VLC (it also supports playlists). I was never an itunes fan. VLC may or may not be lighter than mplayer/xine with their codec files...I'm not sure...it'd have to be looked into more.lvds wrote:- I think a CE release must have a really reliable multimedia support and from what i have read last days, it takes MB of space to add the fine libraries for it plus the right codecs. Why not choose VLC instead of gxine+XMMS+mozilla libs+codecs ? ...Moreover a firefox/mozilla plugins exist of VLC.
